About Foundation for Louisiana
Foundation for Louisiana (FFL) is a social justice philanthropic intermediary founded in 2005 as the Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation to invest in the immediate recovery of Louisiana’s communities after hurricane Katrina. While FFL was founded in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, our founders recognized the need to address the longstanding inequities that have shaped life outcomes for the most marginalized of Louisianans. Our programs grew in response to these needs, and today FFL focuses on racial justice, climate justice, criminal justice reform, economic opportunity, LGBTQ organizing, and support for Louisiana's vibrant arts and culture via a three-pronged strategy:
Since its inception, FFL has invested $55 million in more than 250 mission-critical nonprofit organizations working across the state towards building a more just Louisiana. As a social justice philanthropic intermediary, FFL’s work unapologetically advances racial justice while moving Louisiana forward. The foundation engages communities in both program co-design as well as its grant-making process, in order to expand opportunities and move communities towards a more just future.
Opportunity
Foundation for Louisiana is seeking consultants to provide technical assistance to our fiscally sponsored projects and other groups we work with to advance our mission of a more free and just Louisiana. Our goal is to create a network of culturally-relevant, community-rooted consultants and organizations that can offer innovative technical assistance to 25-40 fiscally sponsored projects who are working in community and building the infrastructure of their projects, which vary widely in size, scope, and duration.
Deliverables
We invite proposals from consultants and training organizations that can offer a mix of one on one and large group training in both in-person and virtual formats in the following areas of technical expertise for fiscally sponsored projects, nonprofit partners, and grassroots organizations:
Initial contracts will be structured as six-month agreements with the possibility of extension into one-year engagements with annual renewal depending on the success of the initial partnership.
